The hairy stamen tulip (Tulipa dasystemon Regel) is described in 1880 from the vicinity of Almaty. There are two leaves, the stem is low up to 15-20 cm, the flower also does not exceed 2.5-3 cm, but unlike the previous species it is not white, but bright yellow. It blooms from early May to July, as it grows in the upper belts of the mountains (2000-3000 m above sea level). It occurs in the mountains of the Northern Tien Shan and in the Kirghiz ridge - in the valley of the Merke River and further to the east.

In the western part of the region under similar conditions grows a tulip falsely-hairy stamen (Tulipa dasystemonoides Vved.) which differs in white flowers (though sometimes yellow-flowered forms are also found).
